On August 3, 2021, the Company announced that it had completed the acquisition (the “ Transaction ”) of privately held ZEB effective July 30, 2021, pursuant to the terms of a definitive share purchase agreement between the Company and URU Metals Limited (“ URU ”), the sole shareholder of ZEB (the “ Definitive Agreement ”).

The Consolidation was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and shareholders of the Company.
